Watches                                                                  

Long term interest in watches. First mechanical a Swatch purchased in Germany (1991) while studying there. Second and third mechanical watches purchased in Melbourne in 1998-1999. A Rolex GMT and a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. After this a few Rolexes, a few Omegas and a Panerai Marina. In 2006 + 2008 I than inherited some 4 watches from my granddad and  my father.

Until July/August this year me ONLY interest was new watches

In the beginning of 2009 I started looking at the new Co-Axial movements with Annual Calendar, and was/am actually  looking at a Omegas Seamster Aqua Terra Annual Calendar. But here also came across the Omega Speedmaster, the Speedmaster 50th Anniversary Limited Series (which I almost purchased, and still are considering). Here I had to learn about this soft stuff crystal (the hesalite), which moved me to older/vintage watches. Watches with a story, with a spirit. Today, some 3½ Month later have I been trying to keep up with the more experienced guys on the forum and acquiring a few vintages. Now up to some 7 Watches acquired since August  30th... And still counting ;-)
